Keeping Secrets

I have a secret

na na na na na naa

Hello blog viewers :D I'm in such a fantastic mood this evening! I've finished my essay and i'm listening to this really catchy acoustic cover by Olly Murs of one of his songs! It's so good!

Anyways don't you just love having a secret? Like when you've brought someone a present and they don't know? or when you know someone is about to ask your best friend out and they have no idea? Some secrets just make me feel so happy, like knowing something special and you don't have to tell anyone unless you want to?

Some secrets are bad though, like if your friend has something between their teeth and you don't tell them because you think it's funny if they go and talk to the guy/girl they like with food between their teeth!

I have a secret, and I'm not going to tell anyone because it's my secret and I don't have to tell anyone if I don't want to because it's such a nice secret to have and to keep :D

Love you blog readers!

Sorry, that was a little random!

I write about rubbish.

Has anyone else noticed?

How cruel people can be?

Hello my readers, followers, friends and yes even my haters! I love the internet, I don't know many people who don't and most of the list of people i know that don't consist of 0ld people (no, I am not talking about my parents, they use it more than I do) I love being able to research anything really really quickly! Isn't it amazing how you can type in something like "Banana" and Google will come up with 46, 300, 000 results? I mean, fair enough the world loves banana's but really all we need is one wikipedia page and we'd be happy no?

Also music, I love the music on the internet! I'm not exactly rich when it comes to buying music, I very rarely buy new songs but with the wonderful use of youtube I can easily listen to the latest Justin Beiber (I kid, I kid) without having to pay for it! Yes, some clever idiots have managed to work out how to illegal download music from youtube but me, I don't bother with that because why down lode virus' when you can just listen to the music any time you want on youtube anyway?

The other of my favorite past times on the internet, and no i'm not afraid to admit this is to type my name into google! If you haven't tried it then I suggest you go right now because it's amazing what comes up! For example if I type in my first and last name it comes up with Kent Youth TV on several different channels like MetaCaffe and Youtube, it also come up with my Twitter account and an article about Dyslexia from the Daily Mail which I was interviewed for years ago ( This is what it said in case you were wondering: As Harriet, ten, who attends Brenchley and Matfield Church of England (Aided) Primary School in Kent, says: 'When I was in Year Four, I was really struggling, but my teacher had no idea.' No one knows how many people are affected by dyslexia. )

Then if I type in HarrietCorey it comes up with silly things like my old youtube account, complete with bad singing, blog's I follow and even this site! :D

So what is there to not love about the internet? Maybe this one site called Formspring? A popular place to be given abuse, made a fool of and just generally bullied. Yes, I talk from personal expireance as alot of rubbish happened on Formspring for me, but also for my friends and ex boyfriend. There are some people in this world that just like to make fun of people and make them feel as bad as possible. Sure, this is bad in any situation but to do it anonymously on some silly website that's meant to be there for good fun? Really do people have nothing better to do at all? geesh.

Anyways i'm going to bed because I feel slightly sleep deprived

P.s. Much Love

Body Image

I've never liked my body

So why do I only now find it a bad thing?

I love my friends, I really do, but sometimes I get really stressed out about how they think of me. Not as a person, as a person i'm fine with who I am. I can be a complete bitch but I also know I have my really good moments and i'll pull though as a friend. My body image however I really don't like. I went through a phase of liking everything about my body from my feet to my head but then recently i've become more and more conscious about the wobbly bits and lumpy bits, the spots on my back (which aren't bad but I do hate them) and the fatness of my thighs.

I can't help not liking my body image, actually i'm more than fine with it when it comes to wearing normal clothes but as soon as someone mentions swimming or something equally as revealing I worry. I only think of this now because i've been invited swimming but don't want to go especially with the girls going be so damn gorgeous and it sucks. Sure some people who read this are going to think "get over yourself you're just attention seeking" but honestly i'm not. If you haven't noticed my blog is very personal to me and I'll write honestly and truley about anything and everything on here.

I did try the whole exercise to make me loose weight thing but it didn't help because I just felt worse when I found it wasn't working. I don't eat loads of junk food nor do i disrespect my body by smoking or taking drugs or having sex. Sometimes i'll wear a skirt that's too short or a top that's too low cut in the hope that it will take attention away from my messy hair or my hips. I know it's silly of me readers, honest I do but sometimes I just feel so desperate and awful about it that I can't help but find ways to detract people's attention from my body.

There are so many that will say to you, it's not about body its about personality. But this isn't true! First appearances are everything in this world and if you mess them up then you're pretty much screwed, i've learnt that the hard way! It's very easy to say "oh don't worry you're gorgeous and everyone loves you" but very hard to believe it. This makes it sound as though I don't trust my friends not to judge me on my size and shape and i'd like to point out I do trust them to like me for my personality, honest.

This really isn't going anywhere so sorry guys but i'm going to stop complaining now, just remember though! We are responsible for our own bodies and we are the ones that have to put up with them. If you don't like your body then don't let someone bully you into liking it just because they can! Sure, they're probably trying to make you feel better about yourself but if it doesn't work then just nod and get on with it. That's what I do.

love you readers and friends!

ps. my blogs will make sense again soon honest.

apologies and mysteries

Yes, I say it rarely but I say it truly

I'm sorry.

Yes, as the name suggests I have an apology to make, I don't often apologise for things said on my blog as many people have come to realise but sometimes it seems the decent and proper thing to do, also this time I mean it.

This apology is to someone who took my blog the wrong way, who felt insulted by the gossip and rumours I wrote about. Yes some of you may be thinking "why? it was all anonymous" but to most people it was obvious who the rumour was about. I neither confirmed nor denied this when asked so when last week I had a text from said person implying that I had made the rumours up I realised that actually guys take this stuff differently to girls and also I was told that it wasn't true.

Now I have no idea if this is the case or not as I don't know anyone that went to said person's old school but I had heard the rumour from several people.

Yes, i'm talking about the first rumour I wrote up in case you haven't guessed already.

I know it's not always right to report idle gossip but most people don't really care what other people think about them and if they know the rumours aren't true then they won't care. Well aparently it's not always the case and I'm sorry for any upset and confusion caused. It wasn't meant to be taken in that way and I have never seen it as being serious because everyone knows this person wouldn't go and do that!

The thing with rumours and gossip is that they aren't always true, and most of the time are only repeated because they're amusing to people and people understand that they aren't going to be true. Never once have I spread gossip that I didn't think was true, sure people being in relationships or liking someone is a different story but on the whole most of the stuff I say in unbelievable or I know will be taken as a laughing matter by those involved.

So I'm really sorry to anyone who was offended but I don't start the rumours I just tell the world, and never for a moment did I believe it was true.
